Treatments for Snoring
Our surgeons are some of the leading authorities on tackling the causes of snoring. Our range of treatments are quick and pain-free and delivered in the safe, comfortable surroundings of our clinic in Fitzwilliam Place.
With recent figures suggesting that 30% of men and 10% of women are affected by their own snoring and that of their partners, we hope to bring and end to those sleepless nights.
Reducing noisy vibration
Laser Assisted Uvulopalatoplasty (LAUP) is a simple procedure performed under local anaesthetic. It involves freeing the airways and increasing oxygen supply by removing the uvula and remodeling the excess vibrating soft tissue. By preventing snoring, LAUP can lift mood, increase energy levels, improve memory and recharge the libido.
Tightening the soft palate
Bipolar Radiofrequency Thermotherapy (RFITT) is a short, pain-free and highly affordable treatment. It uses a radio frequency to tighten the muscle within the soft palate so that it vibrates less during sleep. RFITT is most suitable for those with smaller uvulas and soft palates.
Unblocking the nose
Snoring is often caused by the blocking of the nose during sleep. Laser treatment under local anaesthetic can resolve this problem by restoring a fully working airway. The treatment is painless, involves no bleeding, and allows you to return to work straightaway.
What Can I Expect
All three treatments take around just 15 minutes and are carried out under local anaesthetic so you will not experience any pain during treatment.
Post procedure the area treated will feel a little sore but a course of pain killers as well as an after care will be provided. There are no long lasting side effects.
